Exemplary State Programs | Healthy Youth Example Using CDC funds, west virginia established coordinated health education,physical education, health services, nutrition services, counseling http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/exemplary/healthy_youth.htm
Extractions: Florida schools serve 2.7 million students, approximately 20% of whom live in poverty. In 1999, 81% of Floridas youth (aged 1024 years) did not attend daily physical education classes, 78% did not participate in any moderate physical activity, 74% did not eat the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables per day, and about half (48%) consumed alcohol during the month preceding survey or had engaged in sexual intercourse (50%). Evidence That Prevention Works Health education in schools can reduce the prevalence of health risk behaviors among young people. For example, health education resulted in a 37% reduction in the onset of smoking among 7th graders. In addition, obese girls in the 6th and 8th grades lost weight through a program at school, and students who attended a school-based life-skills training program were less likely than other students to smoke or use alcohol or marijuana.

Extractions: CSG Chief Education Policy Analyst Healthy Hearts program director Dr. Eloise Elliott (also a senior editor for pecentral.org) learned technology skills on her own while still a graduate student at Virginia Tech. There, she said, professors expected their students to arrive on campus technologically literate or to quickly learn once they arrived. Those self-taught skills helped Elliott, now Associate Professor in the Department of Human Performance at Concord College in Athens, WV, to create an Internet instructional module that teaches intermediate grade children about cardiovascular health. The program focuses on the effects of physical activity, nutrition, and tobacco use on the heart. HealthyHearts4Kids.org is a web site dedicated to web-based learning for children in West Virginia and New York, as well as in select schools in northern Arizona, Virginia, and Kentucky. The program is part of the non-profit organization, eLearning for Kids, Inc. Dr. Elliott and the Healthy Hearts staff recently gave the site a facelift, adding games and rewards for students who complete the learning modules.
